NEW YORK — New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is a force to be reckoned with throughout his career, but even the best go through rough patches. In a candid exclusive conversation with Nitecast Media, Judge opened up about his approach to staying consistent, overcoming slumps, and his goals for the rest of the season and postseason.
Staying Consistent Amid Challenges
When asked about his early-season struggles and how he managed to turn things around, Judge emphasized the importance of consistency. “Every year, you’re going to go through some ups and downs,” Judge said. “You’re going to have those tough couple of weeks, tough months, and sometimes it happens in August, sometimes in April. You just never know when it’s going to happen.”
Judge’s philosophy centers on sticking to his routine and focusing on what he can control. “The biggest thing for me was just trying to stay consistent, stick to my routine, stay focused on what I can control because there are so many things in this game that are kind of out of our hands,” he explained. “When you stay consistent, good things are going to happen.“
Goals Beyond the Championship
While Aaron Judge’s ultimate goal is to lead the Yankees to another World Series title, he also has personal milestones in mind that contribute to the team’s success. “Besides winning a championship, which is number one every single year, I think really just staying on the field, being a consistent force in this lineup,” Judge stated.
The importance of being available and reliable for his team cannot be overlooked. Judge knows that his presence in the lineup can make a significant difference. “If I can go out there and play 162 games for the Yankees and just be in the lineup every single day, even when I’m not feeling good, not feeling the best, or when I’m feeling great, the thing is just being in the lineup,” Judge said. “It adds a little presence to the lineup, and good things will happen.”
Aaron Judge’s commitment to being a daily presence for his team is a testament to his leadership qualities. He understands the value of being there for his teammates, no matter what. “That’s always been number one on my list—just to try to be out there every single day for the guys,” he shared.
With his consistent mindset and commitment to his team, Aaron Judge continues to be a powerhouse at the plate and a stabilizing force in the Yankees’ clubhouse. As the season progresses, the Yankees and their fans can rest assured that they have a reliable captain in Aaron Judge, leading by example daily.
Judge is on pace to set another home run record this season. With 51 homers in just 130 games, he is on pace to finish with 65 homers, which would be his highest single-season total of his career. The Yankees currently sit in first place in the AL East, just two games in front of the Baltimore Orioles.
